I've sold some items but most of it is still intact. I would sell the whole unit for $2,000.00 as is but would ask $800.00 additional for the wheels and tires. I bought this thing as a rolling chassis without the engine for $1,700.00. I've sold the Windshield, Softtop, dash switches, radiator, radiator support, dash pads, soft top, steering rod & box & Roll bar. I'd say around $2,000.00 in parts.
I'm taking a HUGE loss on this thing, have around $15-18,000 in it in parts. Sorry but I can't take any less. I have the title in my name and can be transferred upon payment.
The body is in good shape, all the major rust has been removed and replaced with sheet metal. Bud Built 1/4's were used to replace the original panels.
I actually dollied it from northern VA. to Kernersville, N.C. 5hrs and then from Kernersville to Mt. Airy, N.C. 1hr in the same state it's in now. I towed with a Tahoe but I'd recommend a truck to put misc. parts in the bed.
Alright as it sits right now it has the tranny and engine installed, 4" lift springs axles are installed, body is installed with all rust spots replaced. It needs the engine wiring spliced into the factory wiring but I have both and the factory wiring has been ran through. The engine will need fuel lines ran and the fuel pump wired - they are included and the fuel pump has been mounted. It will need the battery box and mounting, inner fenders completed because of the tube fenders. body assembly/kick vents/hood/ccot tailgate - I have these items. I have hard doors but they will need the bottoms & seals replaced. The tranny cover will need to be installed. Exhaust needs to be ran from the engine to the rear - materials are included. New breaks need to be installed on the front - have the calipers but the discs & pads will need to be purchased. Will need to complete the Dura Liner on the interior and mustard yellow paint - both are included. Will need to reinstall all the misc. items, glove box switched etc. - they are included.
Basically I have converted the engine and got everything installed Engine/Tranny/Driveshafts & ran through the entire setup including axles. I was 60% complete with the rebuild with the major items installed then got married and you know how that goes. House/Kid/other interest LOL.
It needs wiring and the final minor items installed but they will be time consuming. If you know a decent amount about LC's this should take (2) months and another month for body work and painting.
If you need any more information let me know, would be better to call my cell 1-336-399-4537. I'm not on Mud much anymore.
